Hourglass Lyrics by NAK

Nine to Sixteen

2016

[Intro]
Let's go! My name is NAK
If y'all wondering what it stands for, it doesn't really stand for anything. Nice to meet you. Haha!
I'm a really sensitive guy, trust me
So here we go, here we go, here we go!
Check! Yo!
[Verse 1]
Time unravels the layers we need to hide the scars
The rhyme enables the prayer to feed the silent hearts
I dream the least of these will reach into the highest star
See the galaxy gleam across the sky of Mars
We're all broken but together we are priceless shards
Life's a masterpiece and pride defile the finest art
Yeah, and this place is so dangerous
The moon hides away its face, it's so ashamed of us
Far from perfect and the little girls are hurting
Scars furnishing the surface
Like their skin and hearts are worthless
Burning her face into the sour back hand
Since when did "man" turn into a coward's last stand?
A true man abandons the cannon he can't man
And handles humility down a path he can't plan
Time is of the essence to empower rap fans
So my hands'll make a castle with the hourglass sand
(Time's running out, time's running out)
'Cause time is of the essence to empower rap fans
(Yeah, time's running out, time's running out)
So my hands'll make a castle with the hourglass sand
Hey yo, time has just been moving way too fast for me lately, man. So let's slow it down just a little bit
[Verse 2]
Hey yo, approach the homeless
While I'm gloating in this coat of arms
I know it's hard, the snow is harsh, I got a frozen heart
It's so cold, it got me closing up these open arms
I play the hand that's dealt to me
They look like hopeless cards
Cursed inheritance projecting all my arrogance
To shoot up into heaven now it's raining dead seraphim
Like a kitten be kicking a ball of yarn
I got grace in my heart, my chest, legs and arms
And it hurts to learn the truth when it surfaces above
I'm lurking in my blood from the person that I love
Better context, drawing the connection
My efforts for success is for blessing my whole collective (yeah)
Striving for perfection is a never-ending lesson
Dedication to reception to the funeral procession
Time for the succession, I'm here to lead the chosen
Like Moses, with faith that provokes an ocean open
So make way, you clouds, the sun is coming out
So put down your grudges, cause time is running out
God, paint the sky, the sun is coming out
And learn to forgive, cause time is running out
Farewell to the night, the sun is coming out
End all the hate, cause time is running out
Grace is renewed when the sun's coming out
So let's learn how to love, cause time is running out
Time's running out, time's running out
Time's running out, time's running out
Yeah 'cause time's running out, time's running out
Yeah 'cause time's running out, time's running out
Time's running out, time's running
